The Transfer Tavern

Vidal alternative made available for Manchester United transfer

It looks set to be a busy few couple of weeks for Manchester United fans in the Football Transfer Tavern as Louis van Gaal prepares to mould the squad in his image ahead of the big Premier League kick off.

And the Daily Star reckons the Dutchman could be close to landing Colombian midfielder Fredy Guarin after Inter Milan told him he was free to leave the San Siro this summer.

Reports in Italy claim Inter are desperate to sign Parma attacker Jonathan Biabiany and needs to sell Guarin in order to make room.

Louis van Gaal is desperate to add another midfielder to his squad and has become increasingly frustrated with his much publicised pursuit of Juventus star Arturo Vidal.

The Dutchman is willing to turn his attentions to Guarin, although ironically could face competition for his signature from Juventus.

Reports in Italy suggest new Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri is keen to sign the former Porto midfielder this summer regardless of whether Vidal stays or goes.

Manchester United fans. Is Fredy Guarin the man to strengthen your midfield? He is not wanted by a struggling Inter Milan side so is he really a decent alternative to Vidal? Let us know your thoughts below.
